Ask Ninja 08: Shoes for the tux
Ninja October 30th, 2007
Q: Could you recommend an alternative for a groomsman shoe?
A: Sure! I’ve never been a fan of the shiny, patent leather look with a tux. I’m no fashionista, but I’ll give it a stab. Here are some shoes that I think offer style, comfort, & best of all, you wouldn’t feel embarrassed about wearing them out again. (purchasing links after photos)
Slick silhouette with a pointy toe. The comfort of a sneaker with the sleek styling of a designer boot.
A sneaky zip in the back for easy put-on and removal.

Love that wood-grain pattern on the top & bottom on the shoes!
